"Michael Adeniyi Isola Adenuga had his secondary school education at the Ibadan Grammar School, Ibadan, Oyo State, before proceeding to the North-Western University in Oklahoma and Pace University, New York..."

It looks fine. But there is no "North-Western University in Oklahoma." What actually exists are "Northwestern University" which is in Evanston, Illinois, and "Northwestern Oklahoma State University." Yes, I know this sounds like nit-picking, but "University of Lagos" and "Lagos State University" are two different institutions. Just ask their graduates.

My problem is that there are errors of this kind in virtually every single Nigerian newspaper article. The details don't matter; they just print any semi-coherent crap. Two seconds of fact-checking on the internet would have told the author of that article what he needed to know. But he or she couldn't be bothered, and neither could the editor.

That's why I think our air disasters are not really about aviation. They are about a very widespread attitude among the people: "almost good enough is good enough."
